We at JetBrains have been
looking for better networking opportunities for professional
developers and those who are just starting out in the world of development. We have created our
own completely free and open source tool to help people learn programming with Python, keeping
the needs of both learners and educators in mind.

Download, install, and start PyCharm Edu on your computer

No installation of additional software is required. PyCharm Edu has everything that you need to
learn and develop with Python already built in.

Use a free & open source solution

PyCharm Edu is totally free and open source. This includes unlimited learning, course
creation and distribution, and even developing Python applications.

Everything you need, right out of the box

PyCharm Edu offers a complete toolkit for both learners and educators of programming.
This includes essential learning features like an integrated Python console, Debugger
and VCS, along with unique educational features like “fill in the missing code”
exercises, intelligent hints, checks, smart suggestions, code auto-completion, and much
more.

Your intelligent assistant

PyCharm Edu detects code problems and errors on the fly, as you go, and makes educated
suggestions based on its deep understanding of Python code. Thanks to this instant
feedback, you can save time and effort with both learning and teaching.

Real–world experience from day one

PyCharm Edu is not merely a learning system—it’s a special
educational edition of the PyCharm IDE, an intelligent tool for
professional Python development
used by thousands of professionals around the world.

Learning programming in a real
professional environment will make transitioning from novice to professional as quick
and simple as possible.

Terence Parr

Professor at University of San Francisco

Our freshman students have found PyCharm to
be an
excellent platform for learning Python programming because of PyCharm's debugger and
immediate syntax and type feedback.

BeyondPython

Learn and teach Java and Kotlin

Python is not the only programming language you can learn and teach with JetBrains. We also
support Java and Kotlin, with more to come.
